About to give birth
There are a lot of feelings in these last few weeks of pregnancy. For starters I am closing a chapter of my life that I never thought would end. The adventure, the travel, sleeping in, going to the mall just to get a smoothie, and not having to worry about anyone accept for myself (and my cats.) It's almost a feeling of mourning or grieving that of a lost life.
It's not all about me anymore. It's about this little human growing inside of me and our new family that we are about to become.
Giving birth is just like taking a plunge into a new life and very soon a new chapter begins. This is a new adventure with new travels and challenges. I wouldn't say I am scared one bit but I am unable to see the road ahead which naturally makes me a little nervous. However I find comfort in knowing whatever happens down the line we will all have each other. Not only is it comforting but exciting and thrilling. I also feel anxious, eager, and just glowing with happiness.
There are so many of these polar opposite feelings at the same time I wonder if this is why pregnant ladies are notorious for mood swings. ;)
Everyone says being a parent is pretty cool and although I didn't grow up saying the word "mom" very often I think it will feel pretty bad ass to hear it from my own son (at least in the beginning.) lol
I feel that I am as prepared as I can be both in body and mind. So now all we have left to do is meet this wonderful little soul <3 and I absolutely cannot wait!
